Liquid staking

Compare the networks, receipt tokens, and exit models across every liquid staking integration.

This section documents liquid staking protocol mechanics: what you deposit, what receipt token you hold, and how each protocol’s exit works. The liquid staking concept itself, rebasing versus exchange-rate tokens, and how it differs from native and pooled staking, is covered in Staking types.

Integrations

Protocol	Network	Stake → receive	Exit model
Lido	Ethereum, Solana	ETH → stETH; POL → stMATIC (exit only); SOL → stSOL (exit only)	stETH: withdrawal queue (5 days) + claim. stMATIC: unbonding (3 days) + withdraw. stSOL: unbonding (3 days) + withdraw
Rocket Pool	Ethereum	ETH → rETH	Swap-based, instant, no queue
Mantle	Ethereum	ETH → mETH (enter only)	Not available through yield.xyz
xSUSHI	Ethereum	SUSHI → xSUSHI	Instant, no queue
Marinade	Solana	SOL → mSOL	Delayed unbonding (3 days) + withdraw, or instant pool swap
Benqi	Avalanche C-Chain	AVAX → sAVAX	Unbonding (15 days) + 2-day claim window
slisBNB (Lista)	BNB Chain	BNB → slisBNB	Unbonding (7 days) + claim
Tonstakers	TON	GRAM → tsTON	Instant, no queue
sTRX (JustLend)	Tron	TRX → sTRX	Unbonding (14 days) + claim

Integration-level differences

• Exit only. Lido’s stMATIC and stSOL positions can only be unstaked and withdrawn through yield.xyz; entering is disabled at the protocol integration level regardless of the underlying contract’s pause state. See Lido.
• Enter only. Mantle’s mETH has no exit path through yield.xyz: there is no unstake transaction and the integration’s status check always reports exit as unavailable. See Mantle.
• Instant exits. Rocket Pool, xSUSHI, and Tonstakers settle the exit in the same transaction flow as the request, with no unbonding period.
• Queued exits. Lido (all three assets), Marinade, Benqi, slisBNB, and sTRX move the position into a cooldown after the exit request. Once the cooldown elapses, the funds appear on the withdrawable public balance type and expose a pending action (CLAIM_UNSTAKED or WITHDRAW, depending on the integration) to move them to the wallet.
• TON’s native token. TON’s yields report the native asset as GRAM in yield.xyz’s token metadata, not TON. The Tonstakers yield ID keeps the ton- prefix regardless.

Marinade Native (Max Yield)

solana-sol-marinade-native-max-yield-staking is a pooled staking product (public type staking, not liquid_staking): it does not mint a receipt token. It’s documented on Solana staking alongside SOL’s other staking yields.
